Strawberry GraphQL @ 0.257.0

Released January 9, 2025 at 6:30 PM GMT+00:00

The common node: Node used to resolve relay nodes means we will be relying on is_type_of to check if the returned object is in fact a subclass of the Node interface.

However, integrations such as Django, SQLAlchemy and Pydantic will not return the type itself, but instead an alike object that is later resolved to the expected type.

In case there are more than one possible type defined for that model that is being returned, the first one that replies True to is_type_of check would be used in the resolution, meaning that when asking for "PublicUser:123" , strawberry could end up returning "User:123" , which can lead to security issues (such as data leakage).

In here we are introducing a new strawberry.cast , which will be used to mark an object with the already known type by us, and when asking for is_type_of that mark will be used to check instead, ensuring we will return the correct type.

That cast is already in place for the relay node resolution and pydantic.
